Kilgore Trout Posted October 1, 2005 Share Posted October 1, 2005 why would you install a beta over a stable os? partition your drive and install vista to separate partition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commodore Max Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 Don't install it over XP. You'll deeply regret it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Dee Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 Upgrading from Windows XP to Vista build 9 is a supported upgrade path, but it is not a recommended thing to do, since unknown glitches can take place that will make it complex to remedy. Clean install is recommended, just create a partition launch the setup in XP and choose the blank partition on which install install Vista. You should see an option to click Custom at that point.
